Newtervision Ikki Wonderfestival Summer 2015 Exclusive!

With San Diego Comic Con 2015 in the books, it's easy to crash on the couch and think that's the end of this busy, crazy, year.  For fans in Japan, it's only getting started.

July 26th, Japan will be seeing their second Wonderfestival this year, so I expect all kinds of news to be popping up about all the awesome exclusives ready for the show.

Creators of the Karov minifigure, Newtervision, are back again with another cult classic video game character.  This time, in classic flesh tone, they are releasing Gonbi from the retro video game Ikki.

Like Karov, the thick, chunky proportions of this keshi minifigure makes this guy very appealing.  Now if I could only make it to Japan, this guy could have very well made it into my ever-expanding collection.

For more update on the Wonderfestival exclusives, check back soon!

Newtervision Black Karnov Wonderfest Drop!

Recently revealed on their Instagram feed, there is more keshi goodness on the horizon if you're in the Land of the Rising Sun this weekend.  February 8th is the winter-version of the Wonder Festival, and we've already seen all kinds of limited-edition offerings from various artists and studio.  Today, we can add one more to the bunch.

The talented Newtervision will be releasing a new black colorway of his licensed Karnov keshi.  Any retro gamer will recognize this Russian brute and his ladder.  If you haven't played it on the old Nintendo back in the 80's, check out some gamers on Youtube and Twitch that cover Karnov and all kinds of 8-bit awesomeness like him.  They'll catch you up to why Karnov is such an enjoyable character, despite being so obscure.

This won't be Newtervision's only offering at Wonder Fest.  The previously released variants in blue, green, and classic flesh, will also be there, just in case you've missed them last summer.

I honestly wish I can make it to Japan for an amazing keshi trip, but it's just not in the cards at this moment.  It's not all lost though, these great little dudes will be reaching the secondary market for sure.

Newtervision has a blog about his work and stuff going on.  Check it out sometime, and if you can show up and support him at Wonder Fest, I assure you, you won't regret it.
